sAt last after long time this happen running OS X on VirtualBox, not without off a lot of f....k.
But this post is not about how to install OS X on VirtualBox but how you can access host share folder without guest addictions.
Well if you need help on that this is a good place for start...

My system that I try this is Ubuntu 15.04 as host and VirtualBox 5.0, the guest OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, running AMD Apu.

kernel 3.19.0-23

my system is up to date and VirtualBox 5.0 was a .deb file from Oracle.

The Yosemite inside VirtualBox,

So how to share a folder from host?

We will use smb to get this files on virtual machine, from VirtualBox forum...

Until there is Guest Additions for Mac OS X, you can still share folders on the host with the guest via the network. It is pretty simple:

1) Share a folder from the actual host machine (from the OS itself, not through the vbox shared folders settings)2) Use NAT for your guest's network settings3) From Mac OS X, Open "Finder" (looks like a square face, usually on the bottom-left)4) From the top menu, navigate to Go->Connect to Server5) For "Server Address" enter smb://10.0.2.26) Click "Connect"7) Enter your username and password (for the host machine)8) Select the shared folder from the list

This is the method I am using in my Mac OS X guests until the new Guest Additions is implemented.

if samba is installed terminal will tell you that is installed and the newest,

create a samba password, I have used my root password but is up to you,

sudo smbpasswd -a your-user-name

and it look like,

""sudo smbpasswd -a sony""

Make a folder for share

mkdir /home/your-user-name/folder-name

user name the same as your login and folder name "Yosemite"? maybe.

Backup your smb.conf,

sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf ~

and now edit smb.conf

sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

to save the edited file ( ctrl+x ) you will be asked if you want to save your changes, press ( y ) for yes, or trick part ""sudo nautilus"" navigate to /etc/samba/smb.conf and edit and save the file from there as root.

Hi this is a kind of tutorial, some hardware, software is need for this "kind of tutorial".

To begin let me tell about my set up, two box running Linux Mint 17 64bit, one on my living room and the other on my small room they are connected directly to my Thomson wi-fi router with RJ45 cables with help of TP-LINK AV200+, on the living room side, together this two machines have 7 TB of HDD.Things that you need for this "kind of tutorial"Linux Mint 17 or any other based in Ubuntu/DebianOpenSSH Client (install by default in Mint)OpenSSH Server XBMC 13.2 (Kodi from 14.0)Ok I have this new board that was 8 Sata ports so I only need 1 box running and something like Raspberry Py with Raspbian on the living room to stream to my TV.Stream Your Files Over The House So I have this idea that I could stream any file over the house with a tablet or tablets, and this idea is kind of multi room stream with mix off hardware. what I test and is working....my two box running Linux Mint 17 with XBMC on each, but this is not necessary if you have one in on location and stream all your files to like the Py, only need to configure the XBMC to get the files from that machine and the same this for the tablet/tablets.
